Well, managed to get further with my Moore family qwhilst on the IOM but now need further help with parentage please. I found Thomas Moore chr Jan 1785 who md Eleanor Kneen in 1813 Arbory. Then I checked this Thomas Moore's parents & found a Thomas Moore chr c 1759 Arbory & wife Mary Cashin chr c 1761 who md in Rushen in Jan 1784. Got that far with that good possiblity last week in Manx museum. From there I tried to find the parents of the 1757/9 Thomas Moore & I found a John Moore & Catherine Taubman but John was given as a Reverent. This was all done on the last afternoon so had no further time to fully verify John & Catherine as the actual parents. Would appreciate any verification & possible siblings to 1757 Thomas from someone who knows how to get further back to mid 1700s. Thanks ever so much.

Kay,
I have bits and pieces in my database with some of these people--collected primarily from other people, mostly on the genealogy board--so I can't vouch for any except the Taubman info.

Thomas Moore md Eleanor Kneen 1813 Arbory--I have as ch 7 Sep 1788 Patrick s/o John Moore & Ann Callister and Eleanor ch 5 Feb 1797 Patrick d/o John Kneen and Jane Kermode
1841 Census Index
German 2 2 6

Eleanor 45
William 10
Margaret 5
Robert 8
My note indicates that fa Thomas d 1849 at age 64
I have oldest son, John, md Mary Ann Caine 1833 Ballaugh & I have some details going back on the Caines

I don't have anything on Thomas Moore & Mary Cashin

I have John Moore & Catherine Taubman md 1 Nov 1746 Santan. He d 1791 Arbory has a will MOORE, John 1792-1 Arb E w 0106403
Cath d 1797--will summary on ManxNoteBook
They had a son Thomas ch 6 Jan 1757 Arbory but I have nothing further about him

I have considerable info available on Catherine's Taubman's lineage thanks to John Robinson who has proved to be generally accurate.

I guess this is my poor version of Donna's Scraps.
Let me know if you want any more of the info I have.
